IMPORTANT
Safe Operation Practices for Cultivator
WARNING: Look for this symbol to point out important safety precautions.
It means: "Attention! Become Alert! Your Safety Is Involved."
_ ARNING: To prevent acciden-
tal starting when setting-up,
transporting, adjusting or mak-
ing repairs, always disconnect spark
plug wire and put wire where it cannot
contact the spark plug.
IMPORTANT: Safety standards require opera-
tor presence controls to minimize the risk of in-
jury. Your cultivator is equipped with such
controls. Do not attempt to defeat the function
of the operator presence control under any cir-
cumstances.
Before Use
• Read the owner's manual carefully. Be
thoroughly familiar with the controls and
the proper use of the cultivator. Know how
to stop the cultivator and disengage the
controls quickly.
• Do not operate the cultivator without wear-
ing adequate outer garments. Wear foot-
wear that will improve footing on slippery
surfaces.
• Keep the area of operation clear of all per-
sons, particularly small children and pets.
• Thoroughly inspect the area where the cul-
tivator is to be used and remove all foreign
objects.
Fuel Safety
• Handle fuel with care; it is highly flam-
mable.
• Use an approved container.
• Check fuel supply before each use, allow-
ing space for expansion as the heat of the
engine and/or sun can cause fuel to ex-
pand.
• Fill fuel tank outdoors with extreme care.
Never fill fuel tank indoors. Replace fuel
tank cap securely and wipe up spilled fuel.
• Never remove the fuel tank cap or add fuel
to a running or hot engine.
F-021300C
